Is it normal to experience ripples in the stomach after liposuction? Is this due to bad liposuction or is this normal?

Question

I'm interested in getting a bbl I've been searching for a great doctor since January. In some pictures that I have looked up I notice ripples in the stomach and others I haven't. I'm trying to figure out if this is normal or not , I am going to be spending a lot of money and I want my results to be amazing!

Keep in mind, it can take 3-6 months for swelling to resolve with liposuction and up to a year for final results. Some people aren't candidates for liposuction alone, but need a tummy tuck performed at the same time to get a smooth result. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned, smoothest result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear C.Rebel,While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result.I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

HelloWithout photos shown is very difficult to give you suggestions, but if I recommend that you follow exactly the directions of your doctor, after a liposupcion is normal to give yourself 10 to 14 massages so that your skin contracts and has firmness, for Otherwise the skin may become lumps or ripples if you see any strange reactions do not hesitate to consult your surgeon as soon as possible.To Serve You Always, Dr. Manuel VenturaCertified,  Medical research institute of plastic surgery in sao bernardo do campo, sao paulo, brazil

There is some degree of contour irregularity that should be expected with any liposuction technique, however it is generally very mild and not problematic. The results from liposuction seem to get better and better over a 3-6 month period. Best wishes.
